Linda Kenney Baden Presents at the American Academy of Forensic Sciences Annual Meeting in Seattle

On February 20, 21 and 22, 2018, I presented in front of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences annual meeting in Seattle, Washington. The Academy is composed of over 6,000 members that actively practice forensic science. I first spoke at the Tuesday workshop with the presentation entitled “Tapestry of Trials — the Aaron Hernandez Case.” The following day, I was the keynote speaker at the Jurisprudence Section annual luncheon and on Thursday presented an open scientific paper with Dr. Jamie Downs entitled “Autopsy, Case Studies and Fingerprints.” Of course, with just a few hours left to stay in Seattle, I took time with my husband Michael ( Dr. Michael Baden) to visit the new Amazon Go store and witness this new technology first hand, have lunch with the fabulous Dr. Dragan Primorac former Minister of Science for Croatia- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragan_Primorac, and see the first Starbucks store where coffee is still made manually. As we were walking , we came across a great initiative, a bookstore selling inexpensive books you could send to prisoners. Along the way we also met Velcro, a standard poodle service dog. It made me miss our Valjean, hence the “artwork”!
